Officials with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry and the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office are seeking the public's help in finding whoever is responsible for the recent deaths of a cow and three calves.

On March 3, agriculture inspectors received a complaint from a rancher in reference to cattle killed on the levee near Port Barre. The animals were found dead in the pasture portion of the levee.
